The Captain Gavin Difference

  1. Experience. Over 30 years’ experience on the water as skipper translate to a) safety, b) a successful catch, and c) a good time.
  2. End-to-End Service. I do pick up, drop off, and have all the equipment. I clean the fish and have snacks and drinks. 
  3. Hospitality. I consider my charters guests in my home (at sea). My mission is to make you feel comfortable and engaged. We don’t just take your money and go through the motions. 
  4. Education. As you can tell from my ebooks, graphics and recipes – I’m happy to teach what I know. I field questions, listen and engage my guests.
